Ohh so the favor is like what we thought! The area is only active if you connect buildings to TC and possibpy tample.
In magic’s video You can see there is a green aoe for the connected buildings and gray one for the standalone buildings (which probably means its inactive)
I just saw gameplay and tried a couple units I could find in editor.
Editor:
Qiongqi moves at about 5 speed, lands quite quickly and isn’t as slow on ground as I thought. Felt like similar speed.
Vermillion bird is quite pretty, same size as phoenix (but thankfully munch more quiet 
)
(also found campaign heroes and all have great audios - I think sfx are pretty great in general and myth units sound more subtle which I personally would prefer instead like e.g. loud phoenix)
From gameplay I saw:
Qilin has a fire breath ability and looks really great.
Yazi has a pretty badass dash/teleport.
Both are about the same size as Sphinx.
Hundun as already seen is quite big and seems to hover over the ground quite often (which looks kinda adorable 
)
Qinglong is massive, like really BIG never thought a normal myth unit without wonder is that big. Feels bigger than Nidhogg and is not even Yinglong (Huangdi godpower) - btw Sages can copy Yinglong >.< (bug?)
TaoTie and TaoWu are as big as expected could see the one hit or firebreath of TaoTie but saw dash of TaoWu which looks as expected. (I would have a small design criticism here about its not important and maybe more personal so i skip it)
GP of NuWa looks pretty standard looks peasants but with clay textures.
GP of Fuxi looks and sounds absolutely beautiful. (Maybe one of if not the nicest major GP so far)
(Didn’t saw Shennong GP yet)
Kuafu look cool, sound intimidating but walk pretty standard and spawn more “funny”. But maybe that’s just me.
Yinglong loos great, Great flood looks great, burning prairie look great but visually maybe a bit too overwhelming.
You can let lanterns of pioneers fly in a certain direction which is pretty awesome.
Chinese have only one building for wood, gold and food.
Chinese fort look amazing and seem to spread favoured ground in a pretty big radius.
Tiger-Cav dismount looks pretty solid and move surprisingly fast on foot.
(When you spawn pandas in editor it looks absolutely adorable!!!)

I am disappointed with the Kaufu Chieftain (Hero). He doesn’t look visually different to a regular Kaufu in any way

He’s different. He has different skirt (some zigzags on it) and his hands glow with light.
Saw gameplay again. Really think they should look into some things even after launch. Balancing things of course but also in the department of animations for example.
Baihu special looks way less cool and impactful than it sounds currently from footage I have seen. Also Yinglong attack has a too big wind. Qinglong here has the better animation/attack - why not give it to Yinglong aswell?
Lightning weapons GP could be visually improved aswell a bit at least.
Also cool detail that Kuafu are getting on their knees for farming. I love details like this.

He does? Oh, I’ll have to take a closer look then.
EDIT: Oh it does. It’s very subtle though. Okay, I’ll change my statement to: I wish they would make the Kuafu chieftain more unique and distinguishable.
Will leave this here for those that do not know what are we talking about.
But I do agree with you. I would also prefer if the OG Kuafu looked more badass. Maybe a crow would help like in this pic:
Anyway, there are some small things I would like them to change in other civs too. Like unique regent for every race. Will probably make a thread about it one day.

Some crude bone armor, rather than just two tusks, would do that for sure. But maybe it would cause players to use it as another military unit, rather than another Kuafu.

We got a Spirit of the Law video
Cool. Thankfully we got a video from Boit too which I always appreciate.
Now I am just waiting for Chillyempire. I overall liked his previous ideas (except for stuff like gunpowder of course) and since as far as I know he is Chinese aswell this would be interesting to hear his thoughts but I think those are good anyway cause Retold team really much overall much and highly appreciated effort in this dlc.
Yeah, for sure i’m curious what his thoughts are as well. I’m kinda suprised he hasn’t so much as even made a short video on spoilers we’ve gotten so far, but maybe he didn’t get early access and wants to be able to play around with everything before putting a video out.
I confirm, Nu Wa (and Shennong in part too) are very OP with their burning rain or rain of fire… Fu Xi is ok I think, at least I haven’t seen anything OP with him and that’s even though I tried it twice with both gods in each age…
